3 Diatomaceous Earth Pool Filters - DEV Series Filter Page 3 Section 1. Safety Information 1.1 Important Safety Warning 1.2 General Safety Instructions ATTENTION INSTALLER: Do not connect system to an unregulated city water system or other external source of pressurized water producing pressures greater than 35 PSI. Pressurized air in system can cause product failure or also cause the fi lter lid to be blown off which can result in death, serious personal injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is out of system before operating or testing the equipment. MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE OF THE FILTER IS 50 PSI. NEVER SUBJECT THE FILTER TO ANY OPERATING PRESSURE EXCEEDING 50 PSI. This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system, i.e., filter, pump, valve(s), clamp, etc. is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized when the system is restarted. Pressurized air can cause product failure or also cause the filter lid to be blown off which can result in death, serious personal injury or property damage. To avoid this po ten tial haz ard, fol low all of the in struc tions in this man u al. To minimize risk of severe injury or death the filter and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping system pressurization test. Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to a pressure test. These requirements are generally not intended to apply to the pool equipment such as filters or pumps. Jandy pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory. If however this cannot be followed and pressure testing of the piping system must include the filter and/or pump BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings and system accessories to ensure they are properly installed and secured before testing. RELEASE ALL AIR in the system before testing. Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 35 PSI. Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 100 F (38 C). Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation. Notice: These parameters apply to Jandy equipment only. For non-jandy equipment, consult equipment manufacturer. This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner/operator of this equip ment. 1. Use equipment only in a pool or spa installation. 2. Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of the clamp, or any other service of the circulating system; (A) turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure the system is not inadvertently started during servicing; (B) open the air release valve; (C) wait until all pressure is relieved (air will have stopped flowing from the air release valve). 3. Whenever installing the filter clamp follow Section 3.5 of this manual, "Clamp Installation, DEV Series". 4. Once service on the circulation system is complete, follow Section 4 of this manual, "Start-up and Operation". 5. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. 6. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to these installation instructions. 7. Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure testing must be done by a trained pool professional. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

4 Page 4 Section 2. General Information 2.1 Introduction This manual contains information for the proper installation and operation of the Jandy DEV Series Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Filters. Procedures in this manual must be followed exactly. For technical assistance, contact our Technical Support Department at Description Dirty water flows into a two or three port diverter valve, then into the filter through the lower bulkhead on the bottom of the tank and is directed through the DE grids. The debris is collected on the surface of the grids as the water flows through them. The clean water is directed into the manifold, then through the outlet tube, and finally, out of the filter through the upper bulkhead on the bottom half of the tank. The filtered water then goes through the two or three port diverter valve and is returned through the piping system to the pool. As debris collects in the filter, the pressure will rise and water flow to the pool will diminish. The filter will eventually become so plugged with debris that it will be necessary to perform the backwash procedure. It is important to know when to backwash the filter. See Section 6 for further discussion of backwashing the filter. NOTE A fi lter removes dirt and other suspended particles but does not sanitize the pool. Pool water must be sanitized and chemically balanced for clear water. The fi ltration system should be designed to meet local health codes. At a minimum, the system should turnover the total volume of water in your pool two to four times in a 24-hour period. 2.3 General Requirements 1. For best overall performance, place the system as close to the pool as possible. The maximum working pressure for this fi lter is 50 psi. Never subject the fi lter to working pressure exceeding 50 psi. Working pressures above 50 psi can cause product failure or also cause the fi lter lid to be blown off, which can result in death, serious personal injury, or property dam age 6. When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and plumbing system, ensure that the maximum pressure the filtration system is subjected to does not exceed the maximum working pressure of any of the components within the system. 2.4 DE Requirements See your local pool distributor or dealer for DE type recommendations. See Table 2 on page 10 for the amount of DE to be used. 2.5 Specifications and Dimensions See Table 1 and Figure 1. Table 1. DE Filter Specifications DEV48 DEV60 Filter Area (ft 2 ) Design Flow Rate (gpm/ft 2 ) Max Flow Rate Residential (gpm) Max Flow Rate Commercial (gpm) Six Hour Capacity (gal) 34,560 43,200 Normal Start Up Pressure (psi) Max. Working Pressure (psi) Dimension "A" 41 in. 47 in. 28 in. 2. The filter should be located on a level concrete slab so that the orientation of the valve outlets and the pressure gauge are convenient and accessible for the installation and operation of the unit. 3. Protect the filter from the weather. 4. If fitting a chlorinator and/or any other device into the filtration plumbing circuit, great care must be exercised to ensure that the appliance is installed in accordance with the Manufacturer s Instructions and any standards that may exist. 5. We recommend the use of barrel unions to connect each component of the water conditioning system to ease in future servicing. Barrel unions are provided with all Jandy filters.

5 Diatomaceous Earth Pool Filters - DEV Series Filter Section 3. Installation Instructions Use equipment only in a pool or spa installation. Do not connect system to an unregulated city water system or other external source of pressurized water producing pressures greater than 35 psi. 3.1 Filter Location 1. Select a well-drained area, one that does not flood when it rains. Damp, non-ventilated areas should be avoided. 2. Provide solid mounting for the filter and pump system. Install system on a concrete slab or solid concrete blocks to avoid risk of settlement. Do not use sand to level the filter as the sand will wash away. Filters, once loaded with media, can weigh up to 800 lbs. 3. Install electrical controls at least five (5) feet from the filter. This will allow enough room to stand away from the filter during start-up. 4. Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to permit a visual inspection of the clamp ring. See Figure Allow sufficient space above the filter to remove the filter lid and filter element for cleaning and servicing. 6. Position the filter to safely direct water drainage. Align the air release valve to safely direct pressurized purged air or water. Water discharged from an improperly positioned fi lter or valve can create an electrical hazard which can cause death, serious injury or property damage. CAUTION Maintain your pressure gauge in good work ing order. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the fi lter is operating. 6" MINIMUM CLEARANCE FILTER 6" MINIMUM CLEARANCE Page 5 7. If the filter needs to be located above the water level of the pool, it can be raised 2.5 ft. without affecting the pump efficiency. A check valve is recommended on the suction line to the pump. 8. If the filter is to be installed below the water level of the pool, isolation valves should be installed on both the suction and return lines to prevent back flow of pool water during any routine servicing that may be required. 3.2 Anchor Bracket Installation In Florida, building codes require that all appliances be securely fastened to the equipment pad in order to withstand high wind pressures created by hurricanes. Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. provides an anchor bracket kit for this purpose. Please see the Parts List in Section 9 of this manual for the correct part number. NOTE Anchor screws and washers are not included with the fi lter or the anchor bracket kit. Zodiac recommends that a ¼" x 2¼" long stainless steel Tapcon type concrete screw be used to mount the anchor bracket to the equipment pad. The Tapcon type concrete screw meets Florida buliding code requirements. After placing the filter on the equipment pad, as outlined in Section 3.1, drill a 5/32" hole in the concrete at each of the four (4) brackets on the filter. (The correct size drill bit is usually provided with the concrete screws when purchased.) Install the Tapcon screws and washers through each of the four (4) anchor brackets to secure the filter to the equipment pad. See Figure 3. Do not over-torque the screws. 3.3 Filter Preparation 1. Check carton for damage due to rough handling in shipment. If carton or any filter components are damaged, notify carrier immediately. 2. Carefully remove the accessory package. 3. With the carton in an upright position, remove the filter tank from the carton. CAUTION DO NOT move the fi lter tank without the shipping screw in place or the fi lter grids may be damaged while installing the fi lter tank. 4. A visual inspection of all parts should be made now. See the parts list on page 15. Figure 2. Filter Location

Support the inlet/outlet pipes independently to prevent any undue strains on the filter's two (2) or three (3) port diverter valve. 10. Connect the pipes using the unions supplied with the filter. Do not use teflon tape or pipe dope on any unions. Assemble the unions dry and hand tighten. CAUTION Be sure that all provisions for wastewater disposal meet local, state or national codes. During any backwashing or draining process, 100 gallons or more of pool water will be discharged. Do not discharge water where it will cause fl ooding or damage. Figure 5. Pressure Gauge/Air Release Assembly a. Place the smaller, thicker o-ring onto the threads of the tank adapter (see Fig. 5). Slide the tank adapter through the coupling nut and into the filter tank. Use the flats on the tank adapter to tighten. Do not overtighten. b. Place the larger, thinner o-ring onto the gauge housing. Thread the housing into the coupler on the tank adapter. c. Orient the gauge/air release assembly in the desired position. Raise and thread the locknut onto the bottom of the gauge/air release assembly. Hand tighten the nut only. Using a wrench to tighten the nut may damage the nut, gauge or air release assembly. 5. To reduce pressure losses, 2" (minimum) piping is recommended for plumbing the system. 6. For best efficiency use the fewest possible number of fittings. This will prevent a restriction in the water flow. 7. Make all plumbing connections in accordance with local plumbing and building codes. Filter connections are provided with an o-ring seal. To avoid damage to the o-rings, use only a silicone base lubricant on the o-rings. Do not use pipe joint compound, glue or solvent on inlet/outlet union coupling nuts. 8. Keep piping tight and free of leaks. Pump suction line leaks may cause air to be entrapped in filter tank or loss of prime at the pump. Pump discharge line leaks may show up as dampness or jets of water. 3.5 Clamp Installation, DEV Series 1. Be certain that the o-ring seat is clean and that the o-ring is in position in the lower tank half. Press the filter lid onto the lower half, sandwiching the o-ring between the two (2) halves. 2. Holding the ends of the filter clamp apart, position the hinged segment of the filter clamp over both upper and lower tank flanges. Bring the ends of the filter clamp together. 3. Place the "T" nut and threaded rod assembly into the clamp. Be sure the "T" nut is seated in the clamp in the proper orientation. See Figure Use a 9/16" socket on the tightening nut until the clamp ring halves touch each other, or are within 1/16" (See Fig. 7) but do not overtighten as the clamp can break. If unable to tighten as indicated, do not operate the filter and call a service technician immediately. Follow these instructions carefully. Improper clamp installation can cause product failure or also cause the fi lter lid to be blown off, which can result in death, serious injury, or property damage. NEVER start pump while standing within fi ve (5) feet of the fi lter. Starting the pump while there is pressurized air in the system can cause product failure or also cause the fi lter lid to be blown off, which can cause death, se ri ous personal injury or property damage.

8 Page 8 Changing the two (2) or three (3) port diverter valve handle while there is pressurized air in the system can cause product failure or also cause the fi lter lid to be blown off, which can cause death, se ri ous personal injury or property damage. Clamp Ring Caution Dust released during normal handling of diatomaceous earth can cause eye and respiratory irritation. Prolonged breathing of excess concentrations of dust may cause lung damage. T Nut and Threaded Rod Tightening Nut w/ Shoulder Figure 6. Filter Clamp Ring Caution Never operate the fi lter in excess of three (3) minutes without use of diatomaceous earth (DE). DE is the substance that fi lters the water, the fi lter cloth merely supports the DE. Operating without DE will damage fi lter grids and short en fi ltering cycles. "T" Nut Thread ed Rod Tightening Nut w/ Shoulder Caution Clamp Ring Tightening Nut w/ Shoulder DO NOT operate the fi lter at water temperatures above 105 F (40.6 C). Water temperatures above the manufacturer's recommendations will shorten the life span of the fi lter and void the warranty. 5. After the first week of operation, check the clamp and retighten if necessary. Use a 9/16" Socket 6. Check the filter clamp at least once a month. Figure 7. Clamp Ring, Closed Position Filter Clamp Ring Assembly GAP NOT TO EXCEED 1/16" NEVER operate the fi lter system at more than 50 psi of pressure. Operating fi lter system in excess of 50 psi can cause product failure or also cause the fi lter lid to be blown off, which can cause death, serious personal injury or property damage. Section 4. Start-Up and Operation 4.1 Preparing Diatomaceous Earth Your filter requires diatomaceous earth (DE) for proper filtration and operation. The filter grids must be precoated with DE in order to protect their surfaces and provide the most efficient filtering action. Refer to Table 2 for the proper quantity of DE to use with your filter. 1. Using a one (1) pound coffee can, fill the can with diatomaceous earth (DE). Do not pack or compress the DE into the can. 2. Mix the required amount of DE with sufficient water in a separate bucket to make a thin, milky mixture (slurry). NOTE Excess DE will clog the system. Use amount specifi ed in this manual. 3. Use the following instructions to coat the filter grids.

9 Filter Diatomaceous Earth Pool Filters - DEV Series Filter Table 2. DE Slurry Mixture Model DE Quantity No. (lbs.) (kg.) No. of 1 lb. Coffee Cans DEV DEV Coating the Filter Grids 1. Prepare the recommended amount of DE as outlined in Section Start the filter system as outlined in Section With the pump running and the pool skimmer valve open, slowly pour the mixture directly into the pool's skimmer basket. The slurry will be drawn into the filter. 4. After coating grids, rotate the bezel of the pressure gauge so that the arrow next to the word "CLEAN" is aligned with the needle of the gauge. This marks the original starting pressure of the system. 5. Clean the filter when the pressure of the system increases so that needle of the gauge aligns with the arrow next to the word "DIRTY" on the bezel of the gauge. This indicates an increased pressure of between 10 and 12 psi above original starting pressure. 4.3 New Pool and Seasonal Start-up 1. Set the filter valve (two (2) or three (3) port diverter or backwash) to the "FILTER" position. Page 9 7. Watch the pressure gauge to be sure that the pressure does not exceed 50 psi in the filter for normal operation. If the pressure approaches these limits, turn off the pump and backwash the filter (see Section 6.2). If the pressure remains high after backwashing and reapplying the DE slurry, refer to the troubleshooting guide on page 14 to identify possible causes and solutions. 8. After the pressure gauge has stabilized, turn the bezel ring so that the arrow next to the word "CLEAN" aligns with the needle of the gauge. As the filter cleans the water, the grids will clog over time, and the pressure will increase. When the needle of the pressure gauge aligns with the arrow next to the word "DIRTY" on the bezel ring, it is time to backwash the filter (see Section 6.2). 4.4 Valve Operation 1. The flow of water through a DE filter is controlled by an optional backwash valve or two (2) or three (3) port diverter valve. 2. The handle on top of the backwash valve or diverter valve can be moved to different positions. The function of each position is described below. See Figure 8. NOTE Depending on the model of backwash valve or diverter valve installed with your fi lter, it may have all or only some of the positions described in Table Open the pump hair/lint pot lid and fill the pump basket with water to prime the system. Replace the lid. (You may have to do this several times on new and seasonal start-ups.) Waste Closed 3. Completely open the air release valve on the gauge/air release assembly by turning the knob on the back of the assembly fully counterclockwise (do not remove the knob). Rinse R Recirculate Backwash 4. Be sure to open any filter isolation valves that were installed in the system and make sure that the filter drain plug is in place. 5. Stand clear of the filter and start the pump to circulate water through the system. When a steady stream of water starts to come out of the air release valve, close the valve. 6. If this is a new filter, or the filter has just been backwashed, add the DE slurry as described in section 4.2. Figure 8. Diverter Valve Handle Positions

10 Page 10 Table 3. Position FILTER BACKWASH RINSE WASTE RECIRCULATE CLOSED NEVER attempt to assemble, dis as sem ble or adjust the fi lter when there is pressurized air in the system. Starting the pump while there is any pressurized air in the system can cause product failure or also cause the fi lter lid to be blown off, which can cause death, serious personal injury or property dam age.

Wash outside of filter with a mild detergent and water. Rinse off with a hose. Do not use solvents to clean the filter. Solvents will damage the plastic components of the filter. 2. Inspect the DE filter grids at least twice a year. Remove any foreign material that has not been backwashed out of the system. 3. Check pressure during operation at least once a week. 4. Remove any debris from the pumps and pool skimmer baskets. 5. Check pump and filter for any leaks. If any leaks develop, turn off the pump and call a pool service technician. 6. Product safety signs or labels should be periodically inspected and cleaned by the product user as necessary to maintain good legibility for safe viewing distance. 7. Product safety signs or labels should be replaced by the product user when a person with normal vision, including corrected vision, is no longer able to read the safety signs or label message panel text at a safe viewing distance from the hazard. In cases where the product has an extensive expected life or is exposed to extreme conditions, the product user should contact either the product manufacturer or some other source to determine means for obtaining replacement signs or labels. Caution Be sure that all provisions for wastewater disposal meet local, state or national codes. One hundred gallons (100 gals.) or more of pool water will be discharged during fi lter backwashing. Do not discharge water where it will cause fl ooding or damage. 6.2 Backwashing Page With the filter pump off, set the backwash valve or diverter valve handle to the "BACKWASH" position. Caution Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the fi lter is operating. 2. Open the air release valve. 3. Stand clear of the filter and start the pump to circulate the water backwards through the filter to the waste line. 4. When a steady stream of water is expelled through the air release valve, close the valve. 5. Run the pump until the backwash discharge water is clear (repeat steps 1 thru 5 if required). 6. Switch the filter pump off. 7. Follow the procedure for coating the filter grids as described in Section Pressure Gauge 1. During operation of the filtration system, check the pressure gauge/air release assembly for air or water leaks at least once a week. 2. Keep the pressure gauge in good working order. If you suspect a problem with the gauge, Zodiac recommends that you call a service technician to do any work on the filter/pump system. 6.4 Cleaning the Filter Grids with Water 1. Turn off the pump and switch off the circuit breaker to the pump motor. Open the air release valve on top of the filter tank. Close the filter isolation valves. Remove the drain plug. 2. Once all pressure has been relieved, remove the clamp ring and the filter lid. Inspect the o-ring for cracks or tears and replace if necessary. 3. Remove the filter grid assembly from the filter. Follow the instructions in Section Using a garden hose, thoroughly flush all contaminates from the filter grid surfaces. 8. Installation of new replacement safety signs or labels should be in accordance with the sign or label manufacturer's recommended procedure.

12 Page 12 Working with muriatic acid can be dangerous. When cleaning fi lter grids, always wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Add acid to water, do not add water to acid. Splashing or spilling acid can cause severe personal injury and/or property damage. 5. See Section 5.2 for reassembly of the filter tank and filter grids. Section 8. Troubleshooting 1. For a list of common problems and solutions, see the Troubleshooting Guide on the following page. 2. Zodiac recommends that you call a service technician to do any work on the filter/pump system. For technical assistance, contact our Technical Support Department at Cleaning Filter Grids with Muriatic Acid 1. Check with your local pool store or service company to see if they offer filter grid de-scaling services. 2. Stiffening of the filter grid fabric is caused by mineral deposit buildup. It is usually due to deposits of either magnesium, calcium, alkalines or carbonates. Removal of these deposits may be accomplished by soaking the filter grids in a plastic tub or pail with six (6) parts water to one (1) part hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid). 3. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection when mixing the solution, and handling or rinsing the filter grids. 4. Soak for at least four (4) hours. 5. Rinse the filter grids thoroughly with water. 6. See Sections 5.1 and 5.2 for reassembly of the filter tank and filter grids. Section 7. Winterizing 1. Turn off the pump and circuit breakers. 2. Open the air release valve and move the diverter valve handle to a position between two (2) ports. This will allow air to flow to all ports. 3. Remove the drain plug at the base of the filter to ensure that the tank is empty. Store the drain plug and seal it in a safe place. Do not reinstall until next season at start-up. 4. Drain system piping of all water. 5. Cover the system with a tarpaulin or plastic sheet to protect it from the weather.
